Have you seen the movie, “Polar Express“, or read the book? Has your little boy or girl dreamed of riding their own Polar Express to the North Pole to meet Santa? They may not be able to ride this one, but if given the Lionel Trains Polar Express Train Set for Christmas, or as a before Christmas gift to set up, they will have a lot more to dream of than just visions of sugar plums.

This electric Christmas train is beautifully made and more like the old Lionel electric trains from the 1940s and 1950s. It is not cheap plastic. Being an O gauge model train, it is one big train.

In fact, the engine is die-cast metal and very heavy. It’s solid. The locomotive engine is a scaled down version of a Berkshire that was used on the railroad near the Polar Express author’s home. The smoke stack will even produce puffs of smoke with the smoke fluid that is included. And the engine whistle is great! There’s even a real working headlight.

Of course, no train set would be complete with just an engine and some track. That track creates a 40″ X 60″ with additional sections of track available for purchase.  You are going to want more track for sure.

Running on that track in these electric Christmas trains are not only the engine but the tender behind the engine and two passenger/observation. The cars light up with interior lights and the silhouettes on the windows make them appear to be full of people. Or are they kids headed to the North Pole?

As wonderful a depiction this electric train set from Lionel is or the Polar Express, it is not a young, young child’s toy. It is a serious train set meant for children over the age of 8. It will take some learning in order to be able to control its movements, both forward as well as backward. But that doesn’t mean younger children can’t enjoy this train set as long as Dad is there to help.

One more thing this Polar Express Christmas train set comes with is a set of 4 figures from the movie. These figures can be attached to the train and ride it. You can move the heads and arms on these figures as well as bending them at the waist and knees so they may be posed as you wish. If four figures are not enough, there is an action figure pack with four more characters from the movie including Santa.

The best Christmas gift of all would be a copy of the book so you can read the story to your child and the Lionel Polar Express train set to act out all his dreams the book creates.  If you would rather, there is even a Polar Express gift set that comes with the book, a CD and cassette, though I’m not sure who uses cassettes these days.  The Polar Express movie would add to the experience and be a good way to entertain your children on a snowy afternoon.

Most people underestimate the cost of an electric train set when they made up their mind to buy one. When it comes to getting your first electric train set, you will need to take into account all the factors such as the size and quality of the locomotive set. You will need to work out a suitable budget because the price of an electric train set will most probably be a lot higher than a normal toy train. In general, you may only find these adult train sets in your local hobby store and not in a toy shop.

Even though toy trains being offered in toy shops can be significantly cheaper, the producers usually make them in a smaller size and inferior quality to keep the prices low. If you got that instead of an electric train set, you will find a lot of problems when you decide to expand your trains and tracks as you will not be able to find any materials in non standard sizes. In addition to being unable to expand, you will most likely notice that toy train sets don’t perform as well as an electric train set when going around the rails.

Apart from that, toy shops don’t really carry a lot of the gears and wheels needed to make the locomotives run smoothly on whatever tracks you built for it. Going to your local hobby store will prove to be a sensible idea as you can also find a lot of box cars, passenger cars and tankers which you could attach to your electric train set. However, do keep in mind that some skills are required when working with passenger cars and tankers because they are slightly longer than box cars and may cause your  train to fall off the rails.

Before heading to any local hobby store, it would be best to perform some research online by taking your time to read electric train set review websites to find out which would be a better set for your current level of skills. If you see any particular sets you like online, then you can also order it from the comfort of your home without having to go out. Since you’re already browsing websites online to buy your first train set, you should consider getting an electric train table as well for optimal performance.

These locomotive sets are both great no matter if you plan to buy one yourself or buying one to give away as a Christmas gift. Getting an electric Christmas train set to someone could be a very meaningful gift but you will have to sort out the age of your gift recipient. For adults, a normal electric train set will be fine but you will need to get an electric train set for kids if you’re planning to give it to anyone below 12 years old. Regardless of buying one for personal use or not, do remember that buying a high quality locomotive set will have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance and replacement parts.
